This afternoon, WWE fans all over the globe tune into the explosive Bash in Berlin event that is being streamed from Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany. The main show begins at 1 PM ET and, promises to be thrilling as McIntyre and punk take center stage in an explosive Four Corners Strap Match. The extreme rivals have not fought for a long, long time and it does seem that extreme injuries need extreme remedies and this was what Punk and McIntyre were exactly looking for.

Since their last contest at WWE SummerSlam, McIntyre and Punk ha ve been at each other's throat, making a gripping rematch inevitable. Towards the end of their last match, McIntyre emerged victorious over Punk, which increased their feud, and in the past couple of weeks there have been a lot of adjectives exchanged that prepares us for today’s fight.

In one more of the matches, everybody is waiting for Cody Rhodes to defend his UD WWE Championship against Kevin Owens. A match that Owens was offered by Rhodes on August 9, as part of the episodes of “WWE Smackdown”, and at first Owens was somewhat reluctant to pursue the championship belt until, with the help of Smackdown General Manager Nick Aldis, the match was officially sanctioned.

GUNTHER vs. Orton Showdown

In a surprising turn of events, GUNTHER will feature later in the promotion as he will be defending the World Heavyweight Championship for the very first time on television against Randy Orton. Both opponents have been brash in their trash talking with Orton even going as far as to challenge the wrestler for a test of willpower. On this Monday Orton spoke about being the champion and how he fears no one including GUNTHER aka "The Ring General" for the title.

The WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship is on the line as Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair face off against Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn of The Unholy Union. This has been a long-standing feud with many episodes as this time they have already defeated Cargill and Belair to win the straps at WWE Clash At The Castle in June. A bid to win back the titles took place on SmackDown on August 2, but that was foiled by the intervention of Blair Davenport.
